DecontrolBaby Does CocaineLove This LandWrong

We have lined up gigs throughout the year and are playing quite a few festivals this year.

We will let you know where and when real soon

We have enjoyed some great gigs this year and its been great playing in so many new places and meeting so many people with the same ideology. We are taking a couple of month away from live gigs now so that we can concentrate on finishing the next album and a new ep which will be a bit of a departure from our usual sound. We have a lot of new stuff to bring you and are very excited about getting it down in a recording. See ya next year xx

All our releases are available from our bandcamp store Here as well as most other digital download sites.

We had a blast supporting Hugh Cornwell and were blown away by his response to our set. We have some big gig announcements to make soon and are looking forward to playing near you soon. Check out our gig list to see where we are next.

'It’s probably one of the best albums of its genre you are likely to hear in 2017 or 2018' - Louder Than War - Trotsky Waltz

'Trotsky Waltz, in totality it is rough-edged, splendid and splenetic; I just love it. Listen & repeat.' - From The Margins

'Totsky Waltz is 13 tracks of the very best folk punk that could easily hold its own alongside the early anarcho punk bands and bands like The Levellers.' - Scottie - All Systems Go Records and Wolfman Radio

'Trotsky Waltz, it’s another passionate and very catchy piece, and it has definitely been worth the wait' - Soundscape Magazine

Folk punk is necessarily rough around the edges and earthy. It has humour and self-deprecation built in, but when it works it has a message, and Red or Dead's is as straight forward as a political t-shirt slogan - and that, with the spirited music, is what makes them essential. - Live Review From the Margins

'Think the ideals of Billy Bragg, the passion of Strummer and a sound somewhere between The Levellers, Roughneck Riot and The Tansads.' - Gingerquiff - Trotsky Waltz

"It's not often you have the hairs on the back of your neck prickling listening to music in a pub." - From the Margins
